Chandler Carruth 6c7af1bde8 [LCG] Rotate logic applied to the top of the DFSStack to instead be
applied prior to pushing a node onto the DFSStack. This is the first
step toward avoiding the stack entirely for leaf nodes. It also
simplifies things a bit and I think is pointing the way toward factoring
some more of the shared logic out of the two implementations.

It is also making it more obvious how to restructure the loops
themselves to be a bit easier to read (although no different in terms of
functionality).

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
